CINCINNATI, March 9, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The Kroger Co.'s (NYSE:KR) Board of Directors today declared a quarterly dividend of 12¢ per share to be paid on June 1, 2017 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on May 15, 2017.
Kroger today also announced an incremental $500 million share repurchase program, supplementing the current authorization, which has approximately $120 million remaining as of March 8, 2017.
"Kroger's share repurchase authorization reflects our Board of Directors' confidence in our long-term strategy and our ability to generate value for shareholders," said Rodney McMullen, Kroger's chairman and CEO. "We remain committed to delivering value to shareholders. Over the last four quarters, the company has returned more than $2.2 billion to shareholders through share buybacks and dividends combined."
Kroger has delivered double-digit compound growth in its dividend since it was reinstated in 2006. The company expects, subject to board approval, to have an increasing dividend over time.
